Belgium authorities are getting worried by a series of school arsons believed to be connected to newly mandatory school sessions in some parts of the country.
What do you mean “islamophobic pitforks”? These were Islamic groups that were involved. That it’s accepted in Islamic culture to wed off a girl as soon as she bleeds is no more “islamophobic” that saying the sun can give you cancer. Not everybody will hand over their daughter to be wed as soon as she bleeds, no more than the sun will give you cancer as soon as you step into it.
Point the hypocrisy out between “she bleeds, she may be wed” and “sexual education is hypersexualisation” is not “islamophobic”.
You’re just looking to have the moral highground. “see guys, I told that dude he’s an islamophobe, where are my upvotes?”
Also, not everything is globally recognized as pedophilia. Just because in your Western (American?) brain it has been taught so, doesn’t mean that it is so to everybody.
If some members of a group are bad, all members are bad — does that mean you and I are both pedophiles for posting on Lemmy, which has had a large amount of CSAM posted to it?
I live in America, I grew up in the UK, my family are Polish and German. So presumably by the same token that all Muslims are pedophiles — I love putting the Japanese in internment camps, and injecting black people with syphilis; I love running slave plantations, committing genocide, inventing concentration camps, using concentration camps, causing famines as an act of war, and I want to invade myself because I hate the Jews — of which I am arguably a ethnic member of depending on how you interpret genealogy.

Doesn’t those arguments strike you as absurd?
Your argument is flawed. Heritage cannot be chosen. Following a certain religion is a choice however.
